Senior QA Automation Engineer

About the role
We’re looking for a QA Automation Engineer with strong Playwright experience to design, build, and scale automated UI and API test frameworks. You’ll partner with developers, product, and DevOps to ship high‑quality releases in a CI/CD environment.

What you’ll do

• Design and maintain Playwright frameworks (TypeScript/JavaScript) for UI and API test automation.
• Build reliable, parallelizable test suites; optimize for speed, stability, and flake reduction.
• Integrate tests into CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps/Jenkins) and enable quality gates.
• Create robust test data strategies and environment configs; mock/stub dependencies where needed.
• Define and maintain test strategy, coverage, and traceability against requirements/user stories.
• Collaborate on shift‑left quality: code reviews, PR checks, service contracts, and observability.
• Analyze failures, perform root cause analysis, and drive corrective actions.
• Contribute to non‑functional coverage (accessibility, performance sanity) where feasible.
• Mentor teammates in Playwright best practices, patterns, and coding standards.

Must‑have skills

• 4+ years in test automation with at least 2+ years hands‑on in Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript).
• Strong in modern test design: Page Object Model (or Screenplay), fixtures, custom reporters, test data mgmt.
• Experience with web technologies (DOM, CSS selectors, async waits, network interception).
• CI/CD integration and pipeline scripting (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps/Jenkins).
• API testing (Playwright request context, REST/GraphQL), JSON schemas, contract tests.
• Solid debugging skills across browser/devtools; handling flakiness and parallelization.
• Version control (Git), code reviews, and clean coding practices.
